Until the engine warms up, I can’t keep the windscreen from misting up in the winter. Especially if it’s frosted on the outside!

…how do you demist your cars?

If you go into the windows notification centre there is a focus button that handles that for you I think.

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

And their bedtime brew (with vanilla and nutmeg) is the best decaf I have found too!

Isn’t this functionality already built into the default web UI?

But when you have a problem, you complain to your representative that represents your area and knows all the details. That’s a powerful thing.

In the UK at least there are a lot of seats that are swung by those holding them rather than their party.

That way still ends up with candidates that you didn’t vote for though, the ranked choice method means you always have a vote in each round.

In any round though you only have 1 vote still, it’s just collecting the votes ahead of time? The only thing you lose is knowing who is in each round in advance?

In your example, wouldn’t the same candidates have been knocked out in each round regardless?

‘cool’ is relative - the have to water the roads they build over the top to stop them melting!

I don’t think Google has a road/mountain bike toggle for navigation does it? ☹️

I would split digital privacy from the foss and Linux discussions. They attract the same people, but are fundamentally different topics.

It also means you could get deeper into the digital privacy topic which is more useful to most people.

For the digital privacy one, ask for a volunteer (or do you!) ahead of time and get them to do GDPR requests for apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. sanitizer anything they want to hide, but do a demo of what big tech actually knows about them.

Then go though how to prevent that and have a discussion on the pros and cons of that data collection. (Eg I don’t care about Google data tracking as I find the Google location history really useful)

There are too many idiots around to assume sarcasm . (Definition of idiot may differ depending on political affinity)

Huh, that’s supprisingly generous of them!

I may be guilty of assuming things works the same everywhere

Most insurance policies will require that the insured trip begins in your home country. (Not that you bought it there) There was a news story about this recently.

Can you not extend your initial insurance? I would really recommend having a chat with a person at one of the insurance companies.

Recently 'World on Fire’s by Dolly Parton… Which was unexpected

Posting to a news article is easy compared with creating content, so you will see a lot more of it.

There needs to be a choice. The fact that Reddit/Lemmy allow you to build and control what content you see is the best bit about them.

If you just show by new, then communities with lots of posts drown out smaller ones; low effort posts drown out ones that took a while to create. It also discourages engagement as the posts old enough to have good conversations will be a long way down the page.

I thought the ‘hot’ ranking was a mixture of votes and comment engagement?

I do feel like there needs to be some further tweaking, controversial should have a time falloff so it shows recent controversy instead of something 6 months old for example.

The problem with allowing third party apps is that it becomes very hard to implement things like time on post. All the app developers would have to implement it for it to become useful and they would have to do it in a consistent way. It would also be (IMO) a step towards the level of spying that seems to be standard in social media.
